For anyone whose recently joined us here on Mathstodon, you should be aware of @MathsJam, the monthly pub nights (and also annual gatherings) for recreational mathematics, and also @TMiP (Talking Maths in Public), the network for people who communicate maths to the public or otherwise. Also, hi!

I respect the NYT, but this the laziest, stupidest reporting imaginable.

The majority of the story is just regurgitating Musk’s PR statements unchallenged, without context.

And it doesn’t go into issues like the Google cloud infrastructure bill. Or the self DDOS.

A decade ago, I could excuse thin tech reporting from major papers.

But most other newsrooms have staffed up experts enough to write better stories. WSJ certainly has.

@analog_ashley there’s @mekkaokereke and @KimCrayton1 and @BlackAzizAnansi all worth listening to.

@analog_ashley and I assume you’re already following @cyrilpedia and @NicoleCRust and @albertcardona for immuno/ neuro / art / bugs / cognition.

Welcome @analog_ashley - so happy you’re here.

(And thanks @schoppik).

"The Outer Hebrides Palimpsest. (Edinburgh, Scotland, 1677).

Following the establishment of the Man in the Iron Mask’s identity by use of the correspondence and shopping lists of his jailor, Saint Mars, the Margrave embarked on a reanalysis of one his cartographic collection’s most celebrated collection items, the Outer Hebrides Palimpsest. The connection was tenuous at best: a group of Waldensians fleeing the brutal suppression of the sect in Piedmont arrived at the remote islands at around the time the map was produced. In keeping with our founder’s original mission, the process arrived at no useful conclusions – one unfortunate effect is the damage you see here, the Margrave's effort at redacting the map."

"That's a long-winded way of explaining how I got from working on stress to being interested in the microbiome. The next 10 years were focused on taking advantage of advances in technologies, genetics and sequencing to parse the relationship between the microbiome and the brain and, more recently, on asking if we can translate it to humans."

'To identify tumor-intrinsic drivers of resistance, we quantified in-vitro response to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CD19-CAR) and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) across 46 B-NHL cell lines and measured their proteomic profiles at baseline. Among the proteins associated with poor in-vitro response was Serpin B9, an endogenous granzyme B inhibitor.'

'One study of 108 US urban areas found that formerly redlined neighbourhoods had surface temperatures about 2.6C, or nearly 5F hotter than others. “This is one of the most visible ways that we can see structurally racist decisions from the past play out today as climate risk,” says Max Cawley, who participated in a “heat mapping” project of Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina.'
